Why it matters: While everyone is waiting for Intel to unveil its long-promised Xe discrete GPU, it might be a while before we see it in an actual product. In the meantime, Huawei is reportedly making the finishing touches on a multi-year effort to build the first Chinese discrete GPU for the server and HPC markets.

The GPU market is about to have a new player, and it comes from China. According to a report from a South Korean publication, Huawei is setting up a new division in the country called the Cloud and AI Business Group to take on Nvidia and AMD in the enterprise space.
The Chinese tech giant is said to be readying its first GPUs for a late 2020 release, with its eyes set on the server and supercomputer markets - at least at first.

However, there's at least one reason why Huawei might want to expand its horizons - the company has already built several AI accelerator solutions that are able to compete with those of Nvidia.

It could be a coincidence, but Huawei's GPU efforts might be tied to China's plans for technological independence.
